It is man that makes truth great, and not truth that makes man great.

When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self.

Study as if you have not reached your goal - hold it as if you were afraid of losing what you have.

With a heavy load and a long journey

Study as though you cannot catch up to it, and as though you fear you are going to lose it.

An angry person is always full of poison.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.
